Not too sure if it is just the programming in my area, but my listing shows about five "Air Emergency" documentaries starting at 1900, all different.

They really downplayed the whole flying into the Hub part, and also the why he was getting fired part. I don't know what kind of retirement/disabilty the crew got, But I hope Fred sends them a christmas card every year.

The amazing part was that he timed out by One minute and his crew was replaced on the trip. Him attacking from behind with the crash axe against only two people, one female, and there would be no FedEx.

They totally downplayed Auburn and was somewhat too sympathetic for me! It was nice to see Col Sanders, Jim and Andy talk about their experiences, especially Jim!
